Despite Britain’s longstanding ban on the use of steel-jaw traps, the Queen’s Household Division still wear real fur from bears who suffer and die in these barbaric devices and from bears who are shot to death. Hunters often shoot bears several times before the animals die. Some bears escape after being shot and face a lingering death from blood loss, gangrene, dehydration or infection. ‘Her Majesty can help relegate these cruelly made hats to Britain’s history books where they belong’, writes Ms Booth. ‘Won’t you please assure me and my friends at PETA that you will request the use of a suitable faux fur fabric to keep the Guards looking regal, rather than the skins of bears torn from their forest homes and families?’ Click here to read Miss Great Britain’s letter to Her Majesty the Queen.
